Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 142

The gloom which filled all Shu Ting's thoughts dissipated because of his words. "Don't go back on what

you said."

Hearing the pleasant tone of voice, the man remembered her acting spoiled. The coldness on his face Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

instantly disappeared, and his tone was indulgent. "Never. You can have a check then."

Shu Tian put her feet up and muttered, with her face flushed, "You bastard..."

From last night until now, Li Han rarely smiled happily. "Get up. I'll wait for you at the company, okay?"

Hearing his voice, Shu Tian's anger was totally gone. Her voice was as soft as if it had been made up

of sugar. "Okay."

After some words, Li Han hung up the phone and called Ling Junze. The softness in his words

disappeared, instead, he ordered coldly, "Ask two of George's nurses to North Villas. Chujing said she

was dizzy last night. I was worried about her."

Ling Junze had just arrived at the office, without putting off his briefcase. "Dizzy? Is there any other

wrong? This has never happened before."

"Not yet." Li Han was concerned as well. "Could it be the long-time flight?"

"Maybe" Ling Junze answered, sitting in his chair. Seeing the cup of hot tea on the table made by Tian

Sangsang, he took a sip. His mouth was quickly pervaded by the faint scent of jasmine. "I'll send

someone over there this afternoon. Don't worry. It doesn't matter if she only feels dizzy. Chujing's been

sick for a long time. Don't scare yourself."

"Well, thank you."

"Hey," Ling Junze sighed. "Never mind."

The two of them talked for a while longer. After talking about serious things, they always talked about

personal matters. Ling Junze slowly asked, in a tentative voice,"Chujing is back. Shu Tian didn't notice,

did she?"

"I stayed in North Villas all night. She was somewhat unhappy, but I've coaxed her into forgiving me."

"Did she forgive you?"

"Yes."

"Hey, Shu Tian is nice, and she really believes in you. She can forgive you after your few words. To be

honest, you feel guilty, right?" Ling Junze had been Li Han's trusted friend for so many years and he

knew Li Han well.

Li Han was not only guilty, but he was also even a little disappointed in himself.

"I won't do anything that hurts her." He said in a low voice as if he were talking to Ling Junze as well as

himself.

It was his only excuse.

Ling Junze was a little speechless, and he cursed incoherently, "Why is it so difficult to love someone?"

In the past, Li Han hadn't found the one he loved. Now, the one appeared, but Jiang Chujing was in the

way.

If it were Ling Junze who was impatient, he would have cut his hair and turn into a monk.

Li Han smiled bitterly. "Don't touch something like love. I've fallen in love with Shu Tian. It's no use to

regret."

Ling Junze gasped, not knowing how to comfort Li Han.

Meanwhile, the driver arrived at Imperial Villa on time to pick up Shu Tian and drove her to the

company. On the way, Shu Ting was reading the email when she received a call from Ye Lihua.

"Hello, mom?"

"Tian, where are you now?"

Shu Tian looked out the window. "I'm on my way to work."

"Well, Tang Guofeng suddenly called me this morning. I remembered that you've told your father and

me to stay away from the Tang family, so I didn't answer the phone. It was unexpected that they came

over. It's embarrassing to let them stand outside, so we let them in..."

Shu Tian said surprisedly, with her heart in her mouth. "What? You let them in?!"

Ye Lihua knew that Shu Tian was anxious, so she hurriedly explained, "They knocked on the door. I just

cannot let them make a scene. It's really awkward..."

Shu Tian raised her voice. "Did they make a scene?"

"No, no, no. Tang Guofeng said he wanted to make things clear. I told him that since you and Tang

Zechen are divorced, it's unnecessary to talk about anything more..."

"Mom." Shu Tian interrupted Ye Lihua, unable to calm down and listen, afraid that Liu Lifang and Tang

Guofeng would do something worse.

She asked the driver to go back and said to her mom, "Calm them down and I'll go back now."

"Why are you back? Aren't you going to work..."

"They've all come to my home. How can I work?" Shu Tian couldn't help yelling, really upset. "Well,

mom, don't worry about me. I can ask for a leave. Tell Liu Lifang to wait for me."

"Well, well..." Seeing that Shu Tian insisted on coming back, Ye Lihua was clear that Shu Ting wouldn't

change her opinion, so Ye Lihua gave up persuading her daughter.

After hanging up, Shu Tian immediately asked Wei Xiangming for leave for about half a day. After

explaining the reason, Wei Xiangming permitted quickly.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing that Shu Ting was not looking well, he kindly turned

the heat on to its maximum. "Miss Shu, don't worry. Red Garden Community isn't far from here. We can

get there in about fifteen minutes."

Annoyed, Shu Tian sighed helplessly. "Thank you. Please hurry up."

It was the morning rush hour, and the driver drove fast to the Red Garden Community, even driving on

bus lanes. The car stopped in 13 or 14 minutes. Shu Tian got off with her bag and trotted all the way to

the community.

She was wearing high heels today. From the first floor to the fourth floor, she rushed up two steps at a

time. During the process, she accidentally sprained her ankle, gasped in pain, and let it go.

Bang! Bang!

Shu Tian pressed the doorbell and knocked on the door, saying anxiously, "Mom, open the door."

Ye Lihua opened the door, with her hands wet. "What are you in a hurry for? We're fine."

Ye Lihua lowered her voice and replied. Shu Tian was relieved to see her mom fine and turned to look

inside.

In the living room, Liu Lifang and Tang Guofeng were sitting on the sofa, while Shu Changlei was sitting

on the chair, all of them silent. Although they were like strangers now, Ye Lihua offered them a cup of

tea.

Looking at the hot steam coming out of the teacup, Shu Tian was sad with her chest stuffy. Seeing the

couple again, Shu Ting was still emotional, thinking of those tough and unbearable moments.

Seeing her enter, Shu Changlei stood up to greet her, "You're back."

"Dad." Shu Tian greeted him and turned to look at the two people standing up from the sofa as well.

Her tone was a little stiff. "Why do you come here?"

Tang Guofeng was in a daze, while Liu Lifang said, with a feigned smile, "We want to talk to you."

Shu Tian nodded, without replying. Instead, she said to her parents, "Mom and dad, we have

something to talk about. Please stay in the bedroom for a while."

"It..." Ye Lihua was worried to let her daughter face them alone. Before she said something more, Shu

Tian interrupted her.

"Mom, it is our house. Don't worry. I'll call you when we're done."

Ye Lihua wanted to say something else, but Shu Changlei reached out to stop Ye Lihua. "Okay, you

can have a talk. I'll go in with your mother."

Then, the couple walked inside one after another, during which Ye Lihua frequently turned around in

worry. After the bedroom door was closed, Shu Tian sat down on the opposite sofa.

With her legs crossed, she looked intimidating and said confidently. "What do you want to talk about?

Say it now."
